The female population may fantasise what they’d do if they got their hands on Ryan Gosling but the actor has revealed he dreams about being a bank robber instead.

The scorching hot screen hunk says his inner crook lays dormant because he is too scared of being a jailbird.

‘I’ve always had this fantasy about robbing banks, but I’m scared of jail. I’ll never do it, but I would, if I didn’t have to go to jail,’ said the 32-year-old, who at least gets to play out the part of a small town thief in his latest flick The Place Beyond The Pines.

‘We shot all the bank robberies in one take so I got to have as close to the real experience as possible, as close as I’m ever going to get. I got it out of my system. I’m too afraid of jail.’
